Tour & Taxis was once a major freight and customs centre on the Brussels canal, just a stone’s throw from the centre of the city. Today, a century after its construction, this shining jewel from the golden age of industrialization has been totally renovated for commercial use, carefully preserving its magnificent facades and structure. The Warehouses area, spread over 17,410 m2, is divided into 4
large modular sheds, giving full flexibility to fairs, exhibitions and events. These warehouses are covered by the original saw-blade roofing, an astonishing structure that disperses light evenly and gives an impressive industrial atmosphere as well as an image of strength and importance. The warehouses welcome important fairs —including the Antiques Fair, the Book Fair, the Entrepreneurs Show —and events for leading companies, Belgacom, Euroclear, ING,. The Royal Depot, 30 metres from the Warehouses, has been converted into offices, shops and restaurants, bisected by a 180m indoor street. In addition the structure also includes state-of-the-art conference facilities for up to 250 persons and a lounge bar available in conjunction with exhibition events. The newest acquisition of Tour & Taxis, the Hôtel de la Poste, a new event venue in Brussels is located between the Sheds and the Gare Maritime.The name of the Hôtel de la Poste was originally: Hôtel d’Administration, as it was used as the administrative center of the entire site. This majestic Ticket window hall can be used for several purposes, like meetings, product presentations, parties, concerts, weddings etc. Next to the main hall you will find the Foyer (300m²) where, for example a coffee break or a lunch can take place during your event. Finally, open spaces spread over the Tour & Taxis site allow a big top/marquee welcome for special events such as the Couleur Café music festival.Full service support on site provides catering, latest technology (WiFi), round-the-clock security and car parking
